Deuteronomy 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it —
1“Ko e ngaahi fekau eni, mo e tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke ako ʻaki kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou fai ki ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu:
2that thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
2Koeʻuhi ke ke manavahē kia Sihova, ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate koe, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo e foha ʻo ho foha, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui; pea koeʻuhi ke fakatolonga ai ho ngaahi ʻaho.
3Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee — a land flowing with milk and honey.
3¶ Ko ia ke ke fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli, pea tokanga ke fai ki ai: koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea ke mou tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa kiate koe meia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻi he fonua ʻoku mahutafea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.
4HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.
4Fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli: Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ko Sihova tafataha pe ia,
5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
5Pea te ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho mālohi kotoa.
6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;
6Pea ko e ngaahi lea ni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻi ho loto ia:
7and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
7Pea te ke faʻa ako ʻaki ia ki hoʻo fānau, pea te ke talanoa ʻaki ia ʻoka ke ka nofo ʻi ho fale, pea ʻoka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he hala, pea ʻoka ke ka tokoto hifo, pea ʻoka ke ka tuʻu hake.
8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
8Pea te ke nonoʻo ia ki ho nima ko e fakaʻilonga, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e pale ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho mata.
9And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
9Pea te ke tohi ia ki he ngaahi pou ʻo ho fale, pea ki ho ngaahi matapā.
10And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee — great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
10Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka hili hono ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, kia ʻEpalahame, kia ʻAisake, pea kia Sēkope, ke foaki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi kolo lahi mo lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke langa,
11and houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou the didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied —
11Mo e ngaahi fale kuo fonu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke fakafonu, mo e ngaahi vai keli, naʻe ʻikai te ke keli, ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine mo e ngaahi ʻolive, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tō; hili hoʻo kai pea ke mākona;
12then beware lest thou forget the LORD, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
12Vakai telia naʻa ke fakangaloʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula.
13Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; and Him shalt thou serve, and by His name shalt thou swear.
13Ke ke manavahē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo tauhi ia, pea ke fuakava ʻi hono huafa.
14Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
14ʻOua naʻa mou muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu;
15for a jealous God, even the LORD thy God, is in the midst of thee; lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and He destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
15(He ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia ʻiate kimoutolu,) telia naʻa tupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ʻo ne fakaʻauha koe mei he funga ʻo māmani.
16Ye shall not try the LORD your God, as ye tried Him in Massah.
16¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou ʻahiʻahi kovi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko homou ʻahiʻahi kovi ʻi Masa.
17Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He hath commanded thee.
17Ke mou tauhi manavakavakava ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia kuo ne fekau kiate koe.
18And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers,
18Pea te ke fai totonu mo lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua lelei ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai,
19to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
19Ke kapusi kituaʻā ʻa ho ngaahi fili mei ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
20When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying: 'What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
20Pea ka fehuʻi ʻe ho foha kiate koe ʻamui, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi fakamoʻoni ni, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu?’
21then thou shalt say unto thy son: 'We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
21Te ke toki pehē ki ho foha, ‘Naʻa mau nofo ko e kau pōpula ʻa Felo ʻi ʻIsipite: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi:
22And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes.
22Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa mana, naʻe lahi mo fakamamahi ki ʻIsipite, pea kia Felo, pea ki hono kakai, ʻi homau ʻao:
23And He brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers.
23Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei ai, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki heni, ke foaki kiate kimautolu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ki ai ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai.
24And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
24Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke mau fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ni, ke manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ketau lelei ai maʻuaipē, koeʻuhi ke ne fakatolonga ʻetau moʻui, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.
25And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as He hath commanded us.'
25Pea ʻe hoko ia ko ʻetau māʻoniʻoni, ʻo kapau te tau tokanga ʻo fai ki he ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate kitautolu.’
